    As a fan of Revue Thommen, I was always disappointed to see so little of it mentioned even in the more famous forums.
    It's as though most people know only of the Airspeed line, and only because of the Lemania movement - an adulation for which I find to be an affectation more than anything else, tbh.

    I am just sorry I didn't buy up all the Airspeed chronos that were so plentiful on the Bay 6-7 years ago.

    Anyway, here's one of mine that I love with all my heart:

    That's a beautiful watch.

    What area the two watches peeking behind the plastic case, Tom?

    You know, when I asked you about your watches, I really just wanted to know about your watches.

    hmm what about Eterna?

    They were ditched by Porche Design and seem rather dormant after being bought out by China Haidian Group.

    Well, since there appears to be several watches peeking out, I will just select the one for which I have photos:

    It's a Langengrad (what?)... with a Miyota inside. With a champagne dial. Has that watchmacallit vibe of that Swiss brand.

    And, it's kinda like a "micro brand" - in fact, exactly like a micro brand, but just honestly priced (read: low), since all they did was case the dang movement... just like many micro brands do...
